Some great quotes

Got a chain mail from a friend.  I never believe in the so called disastrous event that would happen if the chain mail is not forwarded.  Anyhow, the quote in this so-called "Dalai Lama's Mantra for 2010" is really good, so I decided to post it here.


  1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk
  2. When you lose, don't lose lesson
  3. Follow the 3 Rs
    1. Respect for self
    2. Respect for others, and
    3. Responsibility for all your actions
  4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck
  5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly
  6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship
  7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it
  8. Spend some time alone every day
  9. Open your arms to change, but don't give up your values
  10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer
  11. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time
  12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life
  13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past
  14. Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality

  19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon
